MFM Daily Devotional 23 July 2023 MESSAGE

There are encounters that everyone who desires to fulfil destiny should earnestly seek to have. Divine and life-changing encounter is the secret of the greatness that many Bible characters recorded. One encounter with the Most High God turned many spiritual dwarfs to o spiritual giants and brought many people from obscurity to the limelight.

Abraham had a series of encounters with God. His faith and obedience gave God the room to turn his life around for good. God gave him some instructions and blessed him because he obeyed. God promised to bless him, make him a blessing, make him great and fruitful. God fulfilled all his promises to Abraham.

Moses encounter with God at the burning bush brought a deliverer and prophet out of a fugitive on Egypt’s wanted list for murder. God clothed Moses with power and made him His Oracle and colander of His children. Moses demonstrated God’s surpassing power and humbled Pharaoh, the gods of Egypt and the magicians. Pharaoh and his hosts eventually drowned in the Red Sea. David’s encounter with God took place when he was anointed by Prophet Samuel. The Bible says that the Spirit of God rested on him from that day forward. David began to do great and mighty things. He went on to kill Goliath and earned honour for Israel and Jehovah.

Neither envious King Saul not any of his enemies could stop him. He ascended the throne of Israel by the sovereign will of God and had one of the greatest reigns in history. Finally, Solomon had a life- changing encounter with God. His generous sacrifice to God made Jehovah to visit him in a dream I God told Solomon to ask Him whatever’s he wanted. Solomon asked for wisdom to lead God’s people. God was impressed and gave him knowledge, wisdom and understanding as well as riches and honour like no other king.
Beloved, I counsel you to cry to God and ask for an encounter that will wipe your tears and change your story for good.
